S/23 on CL - bad pics - 1500

[70NPORT]

Somebody ought to go check it out, I would.

 

[theos911]

Washington is a little far for me to try and check.

 

[70NPORT]

Yeah, me to....or I'd be there.

I emailed him and he claims it is a 383-4, which also means it's an automatic.

??
They are all automatics

From http://www.440magnum-network.com/info/cars/furygt/sport-fury-s23.shtml

The Sport Fury S/23 was designed to combined luxury and performance in a big car. Plymouth Fury S/23s powered by the 318 or 383 2-barrel V-8's were available with a 3 speed manual or an optional Torqueflite automatic transmission. 383 Super Commando powered S/23 came standard with a Torqueflite automatic transmission and dual exhaust. Underneath Plymouth gave the S/23 a front anti-sway bar and Rallye Road Wheels and a standard 3.23:1 axel ratio a 2.76:1 ratio was also an option.

Then again this brochure says you could order a 440 in the S/23 and I don't think you could.

Lovely how this stuff never seems to match.

No, you couldnt. 318 base, 383-2, 383-4 options and all automatics

440Magnum-Network has some splain'n to do...

check out the original Mopar databook.

318s do not have a transmission spec, so I'm assuming manual or auto available. 383-2 just says you can't order a manual with air. 383-4 says no manual. Correct?

Why couldn't air be ordered on a 383-2 manual?

Clear as mud...

Clear as mud...

My thoughts exactly.

well I certainly could have misspoke, I should have said, never seen or heard of one, but it surely could exist or not exist but have been available

 

[theos911]

Well, I've seen 70 Furys with a /6 stick and 70 Sport Furys with a 318 stick, so the question right now is...

Could you get a stick with either the 383-2 or the 383-4 and if so, could you get it in the S/23? (I think we are solid that all GTs were autos.)

 

[polara71]

You could get a 3 speed manual on a 383-2 and a 318 ........ All Gt's were 440's so that out.

 

[theos911]

Here is something interesting, middle right is claiming to be an S/23 w/440-4. I might have given that some credence until this page listed an S/23 w/318-4.

EDIT - Nvm, VIN for both comes back a 318-2.

No 3 speed manual for 383-4?

 

[commando1]

In '68 through '70, you could get a 3 speed manual in....
A Fury /6 or 318.
A Polara (not sure about Monaco - too lazy right now to check) 318 or 383-2.
A Newport 383-2 only.

exactly. 3 speed manual on the column only up to 383-2

Talk about redundancy

I wasn't there ok? I don't know these things and I can't find two pieces of paper that match.
